A member asked:
I was checked for vitamin d deficiency and my levels came back at 18 i tried taking vitamin d3 at 1000 ui and it made me anxious and i felt horrible?

Try different D: You should get your levels up to at least 30, but optimally between 50-80. You'll probably need at least 4000 iu/day to reach optimal levels. Pure Vit. D shouldn't cause any side effects; you may have reacted to fillers and binders in the form you took. Try Super Vit D3 Drops from Carlson- it has 4000 iu per drop and only other ingredients are coconut and palm oil.See http://tinyurl.com/2chkcer
